I'm not sure if Chris's answer works by just copying and pasting "Supported Interface orientations (iPad)" key; probably not judging from the XML source of info.plist. for achieving different orientation support. you can open the info.plist XML source and edit it as follows:

UISupportedInterfaceOrientations

    UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait



UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad

    UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
    UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown
    UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft
    UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight
 

And there is an easeir approche from xcode UI. Go to your project settings. select your target in the "General" tab and then in "Deployment Info" section you can first select iphone/ipad and mark the device orientations you want to support for each device sepratly and then change the devices to "Universal". it will generate the above xml under the hood.

the "Universal" option here shows the selections that are common between iPhone and iPad.
